United StatesSegovia - Castles of Spain
THE MASTER OF THE GUITAR!!!!!!
GREAT GUITARIST; GREAT SOUND!
Segovia is of course one of the great musicians of our time. With this album, which I heard in the DXD version, you get to sit back in your listening room and hear the master go to work on some very attractive pieces for the classical guitar. The combination of sound and music is beguiling. One of the pleasures of being an audiophile is to hear a musician this good in sound this good. If the music is less than heaven-storming, so much the better! We are not required anywhere to storm the heavens 24/7/365. An album like this will sell itself. Once people hear it, they will play it for their friends etc. etc. etc. Four stars because the music is "light classical." Otherwise it gets 7 or 8.
